  • @Hi all! Made it back before the end of the world...whew. Question..I have noticed for the last few days what looks to be an anomaly on the TepcoCam. It's looks to be a very black plume coming from the side of 4 that isn't in the live cam view. You can see it just to the left of the stack closest to the cam. It's been bugging me for days...Any thoughts? www.tepco.co.jp

  • @Panserbjorne9 The one that really killed me was the kids out harvesting tea leaves in the rain in Ibaraki.

  • @radioguy ok - IDK what it was but still ain't convinced by your explanation
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 9:45:56 PM

  • @UKVal I'm not trying to be convincing. I'm trying to make sure two possibly unrelated phenomena don't get spliced into one through gestalt, obscuring both. :)

  • Weren't there reports of an explosive sound at the same time as the flash?

  • Radioactive sea water simulation

    The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant released a computer simulation on Saturday showing dispersal routes and densities of radioactive water along the Pacific coast of Japan. www3.nhk.or.jp

  • @LM The flash and explosion were last night at 6-7pm Fuku time?
    by radioguy 5/21/2011 9:49:24 PM

  • This is how problems are solved -by debate- if only the bods running the show in Japan had engaged in this practice then we may be looking at a more optimistic scenario over there should we send @ukval and @radioguy over to teach them how to do it ?

  • @radioguy fair point Were talking about 3 separate events -2 dawns & 1 dusk.
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 9:50:26 PM

  • @radioguy That'S what I heard..I was sleaping and woke up to the smoke show 3hrs later. Were there more events that I missed?

  • I really can spell sleeping..apparently my iPad cannot!
    by LM 5/21/2011 9:52:31 PM

  • @LM don't worry - my spelling is fine -my typing isn't
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 9:53:08 PM

  • My typing is horrible!
    by LM 5/21/2011 9:53:33 PM

  • @LM but you never appear as illiterate as I do due to typo's!
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 9:55:18 PM

  • @elainekirk lol!!
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 9:57:53 PM

  • That's only because I'm usually an anally retentive checker!
    by LM 5/21/2011 9:58:10 PM

  • Anyone know what the black stuff just to the left of the foremost stack is on the Tepco cam image? www.tepco.co.jp
    by LM 5/21/2011 10:05:00 PM

  • Fukushima plant probably began spewing radiation within hours of earthquake. news.nationalpost.com
    by Majj 5/21/2011 10:07:12 PM

  • @LM no - I haven't looked at that cam for a while, but don't remember seeing it before

  • @UKVal It seemed to correspond to the increasing smoke from 4 in the last few days. It's not always the same shape..so I don't believe it's equipment and we have only had 1 view from the live cam from that perspective 2 days ago and it was smoking like a sieve.
    by LM 5/21/2011 10:13:00 PM

  • Thanks radioguy!
    by LM 5/21/2011 10:13:29 PM

  • It looks like black smoke to me...
    by LM 5/21/2011 10:14:07 PM

  • @LM could be ... would we see it from the tippycam I wonder...
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 10:15:55 PM

  • @Veenie ty I keep hoping that'll be enough to relieve the pressure on Chiba & Tokyo
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 10:18:09 PM

  • @UKVal I'm not sure we would..the prevailing winds are usually offshore during the day and I notice that if there is any wind the smoke tends not to loft. Given it's not on a side we usually see live I'm not sure we can rule it out.

  • i52.tinypic.com

    Not much better, but it looks like it could be equipment?

    by radioguy via I52.tinypic 5/21/2011 10:21:24 PM

  • @radio guy I Originally thought it was equipment or a tree but it changes shape significantly and the edges are definitely not defined. (shrug)
    by LM 5/21/2011 10:23:34 PM

  • @LM definitely not a tree -there's none in that position.
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 10:25:20 PM

  • @UKVal I agree...the shape changes and dies down to a light grey as well. If they have burn and aren't releasing info that is scandalous!

  • what? quake now 5.5 on site below -5.8 on globalincident
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 10:36:23 PM

  • It's 5.8 on USGS.
    by LM 5/21/2011 10:37:03 PM

  • Were they painting the reactor buildings various colors the other day? orange, one of them. Did I dream that?
    by Scilla 5/21/2011 10:37:15 PM

  • @Mod, am I ok to post?
    by carabnr 5/21/2011 10:37:42 PM

  • @Scilla what?? they sprayed green goo...
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 10:38:16 PM

  • @carabnr Hi! I take it this is the real you & not the person who stole your name
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 10:38:55 PM

  • Ya it's really me this time.
    by carabnr 5/21/2011 10:40:23 PM

  • @carabnr Welcome back! didn't think much of your namesake
    by UKVal 5/21/2011 10:41:18 PM

  • I know where i got that idea. A tepco pr video showed them spraying the gree goo, then went on to show water hoses, each a different color for reactor 1,2,3. s
    by Scilla 5/21/2011 10:45:38 PM

  • I jumbled it together.
